Friday Fifteen

Happy Friday, everyone! Are you ready for this week’s fifteen-word-or-less book reviews? (If you’re not, buckle up!)
1. Dear Genius: The Letters of Ursula Nordstrom by Leonard S. Marcus
A must-read for anyone interested in children’s books. Great glimpse into some classics.
2. Emma by Jane Austen
I tell myself I’m Lizzie. Then I try to match up friends—such an Emma.
3. The King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion: The All-Purpose Baking Cookbook by King Arthur Flour
Lots of great recipes with explanations of why ingredients and techniques work. Tastiness through science!
4. The Magic School Bus On the Ocean Floor by Joanna Cole
Miss Frizzle and giant sea creatures. I was totally the target audience.
5. The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare
It’s like an episode of Sister, Sister but with snappier dialogue.
